Mourners Pay Respects to Wenjian Liu, Officer Slain in Brooklyn
Source: NY Times
A cold rain pelted the long, blue line of police officers that stretched for blocks outside the Aievoli Funeral Home in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn on Saturday.
They were there, most of them standing stoically, without raincoats or umbrellas, for the wake for Officer Wenjian Liu, who was fatally shot along with his partner, Officer Rafael Ramos, on Dec. 20 while the two sat in their patrol car in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Among the first to arrive at the wake were hundreds of officers from the 84th Precinct, where both men were assigned. They streamed out of a nearby church in their dress blue uniforms, marching in unison, their white-gloved hands swinging in metronomic rhythm as they filed into the funeral home in pairs.
Thousands of police officers in various shades and styles of uniform stood, some for hours, in the showers that kept falling outside the funeral home, a squat building of tan brick on 65th Street.
